And we went In. We knew that
We should not leave her again that
night.
1t was the most lonesome room
had ever seen. The desks had been
removed, but the floor remained as it
had been in the old time, when a eoun-
! try schOolhOuse floor was made slant
ing from the back of the building
down to the front, where the teachers
desk was placed on platform about
six inches high. This platform was
still there and on this, as the only
level place, Mr.. Rankin had his bed,
which was a substantial four-posted
one.
The windows were high and small.
Mr.. Rankin had evidently disposed of
good deal of his first wife's furniture,
which he had taken when the separa-
ton occurred between him and his
present wife.
The cook stove was rusted irrepara-
bly,, which is a thing which happens
quickly here by the salt water. On
top of it was a small kerosene-lamp
stove, whose flame was heating some
thing in tin dish covered with blue
saucer. There were three chairs of
black walnut and haireloth, very dusty
and daubed.
The figure on the bed was perfectly
still and breathing deeply.
Mrs. Rankin sat down beside him
and began mechanically to move fan
over the CHASTITY face on the pillow.
We sat down silently, each on hair
cloth chair. All the windows were
open, and through them and the door
the salt air came in damply and
strongly. The broad flame in the lamp
wavered and smoked. The sound of
the swift, incoming tide pervaded the
place. l had not sat there five min
utes before l was absorbed in listen
ing to that tide, and almost counting
the distinct sounds that the large
waves made as they broke on the
rough beach below us.
My friend rose and took the fan
from Randy's hand, standing beside
her and welding the fan slowly. Ran
dy sat rigid. She was watching the
mans face. E
At last there was a change in the
sound of the rollers-an indefinite soft
ening. We knew that the tide had be-
gun to go out.
In uncomfortable, but silent, ex-
element rose, standing still. A
quarter of an nour must have passed.
Then | saw the sick man open his eyes
and look Mt his wife.
Randy" he said, in what seemed
perfectly natural voice, II guess we
won't have the Tree of Death hung up
in the sett'n-room any longer, sence
you kinder don't like it.
He turned his head more comforta-
bly, on his pillow and closed his eyes
again.
The Lord has given Randy Rankin
her freedom. York Tribune.

stan, Iron-snOd. ana 4 eant-d0g ana he
is equipped, II exception Is made OF
the blasting-pOwder sometimes, in
emergencies. The eant-dog, or hook,
is useful under nearly all the circum-
stances of numbering. To pull. twist,
or turn it is about as handy as anything
that can be imagined, and. in free
fight, a weapon to be feared. The
outdoor life Of these lumbermea brings
to them a strength of limb phenomenal
outside of their class. Life in Morrison
county forests, or on the St CroiX
range, or the north Wisconsin, or the
upper Mississippi or the Otter Tail is
but getting as much fresh air, plain
food, and hard exercise as any man
need want 1t is a vigorous, exciting
life, with enough danger to keep the
eyes open. One can not trip lightly
over floating logs without long expert
ence. A ducking taken between the
logs is accompanied by other dangers
sufficiently hazardous. The sorting Of
logs necessitates this delicate feat in
walking. To a log-roller cork shod il
is but so much sport but an amateur
would find it the toughest job he ever
undertook. The principle of sorting"
is only establishing ownership of the
logs after they have reached the end
of drive, and confusing a task as that
may seem, it is generally not difficult
one for experienced men to accom-
plish.
The numerous small towns scattered
1IOnO tho Tiuaro of ho % kka
present time remove much of the
wildness from a log drive. The men
have less hardships to bear and their
food is better. But in camp hard food
is the rule and fashion. Corn bread,
pork, potatoes, tea and coffee, sirups,
are all substantials for them. Clean
illness in the camp is hard to obtain,
though much desired by the bosses and
the men themselves. One or two
scourges of smallpox in some of the
northern camps have brought about a
few sanitary changes. The men eat and
sleep in common and with delight hail
the opening breakup and any evidence
of high water. If the snow is scarce,
hauling bad, and the rivers were low
in the fall, the grief of q genuine lum.
herman is affecting. He curses everyl
sandbar, prays for rain, and halls al
cload with shouts of joy. Low water
in the up country rivers in the spring
means dull times, no logs moving, and
a shut down of the mills. High water
has just an opposite meaning. The
drive once made up, the streams a.
booming, and the men in trim, the
moving of the ponderous mass is
the last task undertaken. Two,
three, four, and five miles in length,
covering the entire surface of river,
and moving with great deliberati&l,
the drive is an object of interesting
study. Snatches of song float out on
the air from the drivers, the scraping
of fiddle is heard, strange calls in the
dialect of the woods resound, and many
a hearty laugh rings out when some.
one gets ducking. A drive may con.
tain all the way from 100000 to IS,
100000 feet of lumber. One of the
largest ever floated in the state is now
coming from Braiuerd to Minneapolis,
and contains 175,000,000 feet. Its
passage will be an event of some weeks.

A Tea-Taster.

In one of the pretty summer houses
on the bluff, in front of tie Rowland,
youngish-looking man sat this morn
ing peering through an opera-glass
directed at group of girls bathing.
He wore suit of white serge, with
dark gray flannel shirt tied loosely
with Il sailor knot, q straw hat, and
around his waist was wide cloth belt
that had a lot of gold cording on it.
was told that it was some sort
of Chinese scarf. There was blase
air of unconcern about him, as if he
had seen everything worth seeing in
this world and was only studying the
specimens of feminine anatomy before
him because he had nothing else to do.
He was looking through a powerful
set of lenses though, for an acquaint-
ance to whom he condeseendingly
suggested trial assured me that he
could easily see every stitching in the
bathing suits. II would not have
come down here" said the young man
with the lorgnets, "If l had not re-
membered that the prettiest forms
Isaw anywhere last summer were here.
It's really the only pleasure have"
he added, adjusting the glasses at a
rather plump girl in u white flannel
bathing dress.
''By Joe, she's Il sumner" he eX-
claimed, after giving her thorough
inspection through the glasses. Then,
peering at her again, he said, in u
tone of disappointment, ''Ah, but
she's wearing stays"
All unconscious of the fact that
every move they made was being
watched and commented on. the girls
jumped and roniped around in the
surf, but the tired young man kept on
in his peculiar occupation. He is at
it every morning, am told. No one
knows how he spends the rest Of his
time. He has seen everything, been
everywhere, and there is q constant
look of ennui and depression on his
face as if he thought that life were
scarcely worth the living. He is a
queer individual and he follows
strange pursuit. 1t is tasting tea. He
samples it for half dozen of the big
gest houses in the country and earns
about $25, 900 year by it. He has the
reputation Of knowing more about teas
than any one else in the country. 1t is
at the sacrifice of his stomach and
good digestion that he has earned the
reputation, for both are ruined, though
he is still u young man.
The only thing he really enjoys in
the way OF neurishment is a cup of tea
that he brews himself every morning.
1t is made of leaves that in China are
used only for the Imperial family and
cost here $25 a pound. He boils it
over gas jet, then pours It into the
thinnest sort of blue China cup-al-
most as Thin as a champagne glass.
Then he sips it as he lies in bed, and
/. it brings on dreamy sensation, which,
he declares, is the one delight of his
life. 1t lasts from two to three hours
and then passes away. Unlike opium,
no bad effects are left behind, for he
is over it as soon as he moves about
and shakes off the drowsiness. Then
he takes his opera-glasses and goes
over in the summer-house to study the
anatomy of the Long Branch GIRL
